As Yun Jin was doing, she gave Xiao Niangao a bath and then asked Li Aimei to take care of her. She took a bath herself and washed and dried the clothes of the mother and daughter.
While hanging the clothes out to dry, one of the women saw them and asked with a smile, "Why are you washing the clothes today? Where is your Commander He? He's usually the one who diligently washes the clothes late at night."
“He’s away on a mission and won’t be home for the next few days, so I have to wash myself. I can’t wait for him to come back before I can wash myself, right?” Yun Jin’s eyes softened considerably when she talked about He Tingchuan.
"You're so lucky. We work ourselves to the bone and no one helps us with the laundry," the sister-in-law said sarcastically.
Yun Jin chuckled: "It's not a matter of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit. I don't believe that my sister-in-law wouldn't wash my brother's clothes. He can't even wash his own clothes. It's all because my sister-in-law spoils him. He can't blame anyone else."
As Yun Jin left with the basin, her sister-in-law secretly scoffed, "Do you think everyone is like you? You just rely on Commander He being easy to talk to, and you act all high and mighty just because you have a daughter."
"If it weren't for Commander He spoiling you, you wouldn't be having a good time!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Looking at her husband's clothes, she stomped on them a few times in anger. Since they were dirty, she had to rinse them again to avoid being scolded by her husband for not being able to wash clothes properly.
bother!
When Yun Jin returned home, Xiao Niangao played with the children of Gao's sister-in-law. She was very likable, and everyone loved to tease Xiao Niangao.
Sister-in-law Gao said to Yun Jin, "Call me if you need anything tonight."
Yun Jin nodded, said goodbye to Xiao Niangao and Sister Gao's child while holding them, and closed the door. With Li Aimei by her side, she wouldn't be afraid at night.
Li Aimei slept on a cot, the same cot she shared with He Tingchuan. Li Aimei was too embarrassed to sleep on it, so every time she came to visit Yun Jin, she slept on the cot, saying, "Actually, I really want to have my own bed."
“Housing is difficult now. When you have money in the future, you can buy your own house and live there yourself.” Yun Jin knew that it was indeed crowded for Li Aimei’s family to live together. Everyone is like this now, and it’s not easy for anyone.
"Aren't houses allocated? Can they be sold?" Li Aimei asked in surprise.
Realizing she had inadvertently revealed some information, Yun Jin gave an embarrassed smile: "I was just saying."
Li Aimei took it seriously: "If only we could buy and sell houses at will, that would be great. I only have seven cents of pocket money, I definitely can't afford to buy a house."
As Yun Jin listened to Li Aimei's troubles, she patiently coaxed Xiao Niangao to sleep while talking to Li Aimei.
After coaxing him for a while, Little Rice Cake wiggled his bottom and giggled.
When Yun Jin looked up, the little cutie looked full of energy and didn't seem like she was going to sleep at all.
Yun Jin: "......"
It was all for nothing.
Yun Jin simply tossed the little rice cake to Li Aimei, letting them play happily for a while. She sat in front of the radio, trying to listen to the broadcast, but couldn't get a response no matter how many times she switched. She knew that the radio station had already closed for the day.
Yun Jin glanced at her watch; it was only 9:30.
There are still more than five hours until the earthquake, and we don't know how the evacuated people are doing.
Hopefully, those people can seize this opportunity. Even if it's a transmigration into a book, at least they can safely evacuate within the book and avoid the fate of being buried by an earthquake.
Images of earthquakes from movies flashed through Yun Jin's mind, and she shook her head secretly, too frightened to continue thinking about it. The thought of He Tingchuan and Li Aiguo being there made her wish the book could change the ending.
If only there were no earthquakes.
Yun Jin couldn't sleep that night.
Li Aimei and Xiao Niangao were tired from playing and were now fast asleep.
Little Niangao had milk again in the middle of the night, and after eating and drinking her fill, she continued to sleep while holding her hand.
Yun Jin couldn't sleep at all, glancing at her watch every now and then.
When the clock struck two in the morning, Yun Jin's breathing slowed down. She wanted to call He Tingchuan, but unfortunately, she couldn't because she didn't have a phone.
I don't know He Tingchuan's phone number.
We can only endure it.
By 2:30, He Tingchuan and his team were so exhausted that they could barely lift their arms and legs. Many people were still there, and everyone was completely worn out, but they still headed towards the city to pick up people without hesitation.
If there aren't enough cars, we'll walk.
If you can't walk, ask someone to carry you.
Even if you can't carry it, you have to crawl to leave.
At 3:30 a.m., the large group of people left the main urban area and headed towards the surrounding flat areas, away from the mountains, struggling to leave their homes.
Meanwhile, He Tingchuan and his comrades, who were still in the city, received orders from their superiors: "Evacuate, evacuate as soon as possible."
He Tingchuan immediately ordered his men to abandon the search and leave Tang City without stopping. He knew that time was of the essence, and they had done what they needed to do.
As He Tingchuan left, he heard a bark.
He Tingchuan told Li Aiguo to stop the car. Following the sound of the barking dog, he went to investigate and found a mother dog that had just given birth to puppies. It seemed to know that danger was coming, and it anxiously cried for help, wagging its tail and barking loudly at He Tingchuan.
Without saying a word, He Tingchuan picked up the mother dog and wrapped her five puppies in his clothes, and ran towards the car.
After getting into the car, He Tingchuan said, "Leave at full speed, quick!"
Li Aiguo floored the accelerator, his foot sending sparks flying, but he didn't stop.
Time ticked by, the clock struck 3:41...
The seismograph issued a warning, which happened to be from the direction of Tang City.
The staff guarding the seismograph immediately issued an earthquake alarm.
Suddenly, the ground sank, and then, like waves, as if the earth had been torn open and kneaded countless times, He Tingchuan and his group lost control of the car.
Screams, cries of terror, and cries of despair filled the air.
